The waiting game continues.
Here we are in mid-August — aka the Dog Days fo Summer — and the Bruins’ top two young and talented defensemen are still without a contract.
Charlie McAvoy, 21, and Brandon Carlo, 22, became restricted free agents on July 1. Don Sweeney sees both right shot defensemen as franchise cornerstones.
The way Sweeney has played out this offseason can only leave you scratching your head a little bit. The sixth-year Boston GM made a number of minor transactions in July after signing bottom-six cogs Par Lindholm and Brett Ritchie while also re-signing veteran defenseman Steven Kampfer and Danton Heinen.
